The debut of a tent city meant to house immigrants in New York City was met with disdain from Republicans who accused Democrats of 'hypocrisy' for housing people in a way they previously decried.
Republicans in Congress railed against Democrats on Wednesday as New York City officials opened the doors of five white tents in a parking lot that is meant to house thousands of immigrants, pointing to how liberals chided the“Once again liberal hypocrisy rears its head, and no one is calling it out. These are the same people who screamed about ‘tents’ at the border during the last Administration, but now they are doing exactly the same thing,” said Rep.
The tent city was moved to Randall’s Island, a mere 2-mile long by 1-mile wide plot of land between Manhattan and Queens. Officials opted to relocate the temporary outdoor complex amid flooding concerns and it not being close to public transportation. The new island location is near New York City’s main jail on Rikers Island, and it is not an area New Yorkers pass through, putting it out of sight of millions of residents.
“While progressive politicians love the sound of terms like 'sanctuary city' and claim to want these migrants to be able to stay in the country, in reality, their feel-good talking points and policies were never equipped to withstand the devastating humanitarian toll of President Biden’s reckless open borders," said Katko."Mayor Adams is seeing a glimpse of what it’s like to be a border community under the Biden administration.
